What's a good piece of hardware to run a jellyfin server? (lemmy.world)

I'm wanting to set up my external Seagate drive with all my media on it to run a jellyfin server but I'm not sure which device to use. I'm thinking a raspberry pi but I'm not sure which one. From what I can tell from running the server on my laptop it is fairly CPU intensive for lower end systems

Edit: so general consensus seems to be, don't use a pi, it's not powerful enough

You don't even need 7th gen. My i7 920 could run it without breaking a sweat.

The reason why I said 7th gen is because the built-in graphics card can do some pretty good quality transcoding.

It's also nice because on the used market there's quite a few i3 and i5 based 7th gen PCs available for a hundred and change.
